Sikar: A tragic incident occurred near Maddi, close to Chikhaldara in Amravati district, at 11:30 on Sunday when an ST bus lost control and plunged into a 25-foot-deep gorge. Regrettably, three individuals, including two women, lost their lives, while over 36 passengers sustained injuries. The injured are currently undergoing treatment at the Semadoh Primary Health Centre.
